Near the exit gate 13, the system receives the WCN and, if a prior settlement has already been made based on the portable ID number associated with the received WCN, opens the exit gate 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot management system.

  In the conventional parking lot, when the vehicle enters the vehicle, the vehicle is temporarily stopped to receive a parking ticket, and when the vehicle enters the vehicle, the vehicle is stopped again and the parking ticket is handed over, and at the same time, the parking fee is paid.

By the way, in recent years, on toll roads, an automatic fee settlement system, that is, an ETC system (Electronic Toll Collection System) has been adopted. This ETC system is a system that allows a vehicle to pass without stopping at a toll gate on a toll road (see Patent Document 1). Furthermore, in a prepaid ETC system, it is known to increase the balance using a mobile phone (see Patent Document 2).
JP 2002-342800 A JP 2001-134793 A

  In this way, the toll can be paid without stopping the vehicle on the toll road, whereas in the parking lot the vehicle is not only when entering the vehicle that pays the parking fee but also when entering the vehicle. Had to be stopped once.

  Here, the ETC system on the toll road may be applied to the parking lot as it is, but registration is required to enable payment of the parking fee before using the parking lot. It will be troublesome for the person.

  This invention is made in view of such a situation, and it aims at providing the parking lot management system which does not stop a vehicle once at the time of entrance / exit, without requiring prior registration. .

  Therefore, the present inventor conducted intensive studies to solve this problem, and as a result of repeated trial and error, the inventors have completed the following first to third inventions.

(First parking lot management system)
The parking lot management system according to the first aspect of the present invention includes an entrance ID receiving means for receiving an ID number transmitted from a vehicle-mounted transmitter mounted on a vehicle or a portable item carried by a passenger at the time of entering the vehicle, and the entrance ID receiving means. Registration determining means for determining whether or not the ID number received in step 1 is an already registered number, and registering the ID number when the registration determining means determines that the ID number is not an already registered number An ID registration means, and an entrance gate opening means for opening an entrance gate when the registration determination means determines that the ID number is an already registered number or when the ID registration means registers the ID number. , A pre-payment means that can settle the parking fee before entering the vehicle by entering the ID number, and before being transmitted from the in-vehicle transmitter or the portable device when entering the vehicle Participation ID receiving means for receiving an ID number, payment completion determination means for determining whether payment has been completed by the prior payment means based on the ID number received by the participation ID reception means, and payment completed And a participation gate opening means for opening the participation gate when the determination means determines that the payment has been completed.

  Here, the portable items carried by the occupant are a mobile phone, a credit card, a cash card, a driver's license, an insurance card, and the like. However, the portable item carried by the above-mentioned passenger has an ID number and needs to be able to transmit the ID number. Moreover, before the vehicle entering which can be settled in advance by the pre-payment means, specifically, it is from the time after the vehicle passes the entrance gate until the vehicle reaches the entry gate. In more detail, it is from when the entrance ID receiving means receives the ID number to when the entrance ID receiving means receives the ID number.

(Second parking lot management system)
The parking lot management system of the second aspect of the present invention is an entrance WCN receiving means for receiving a WCN number transmitted from an ETC on-board unit mounted on a vehicle when entering the vehicle, and whether or not the WCN number is a registered number. A registration determination means for determining the mobile ID, and if the WCN number is determined not to be an already registered number by the registration determination means, the mobile ID number of a portable article provided to a passenger is read and associated with the WCN number A portable ID reading and storing means for storing a number; a WCN registration means for registering the WCN number when the WCN number is determined not to be a registered number by the registration determining means; and the WCN number by the registration determining means. Is determined to be a registered number or when the WCN number is registered by the WCN registration means, the entrance gate is opened. Entrance gate opening means, pre-payment means capable of paying the parking fee before entering the vehicle by entering the portable ID number, entry WCN receiving means for receiving the WCN number transmitted from the ETC on-board device when entering the vehicle, A settlement completion determination means for determining whether or not the advance settlement means has settled based on the mobile ID number associated with the WCN number received by the participating WCN reception means; and the settlement completion determination means And a participation gate opening means for opening the participation gate when it is determined that the payment has been completed.

  Here, the ETC vehicle-mounted device has a unique ID number. This unique ID number is referred to as WCN (Wireless Call Number). That is, the second parking lot management system reads the portable ID number of the portable terminal in addition to receiving the WCN of the ETC on-vehicle device. And pre-settlement is settled using a portable ID number.

(Third parking lot management system)
The parking lot management system according to the third aspect of the present invention is an entrance WCN receiving means for receiving a WCN number transmitted from an ETC on-board unit mounted on a vehicle when entering the vehicle, and whether or not the WCN number is a registered number. A registration determination means for determining the above, a parking ticket issuing means for issuing a parking ticket with an ID number when the registration determination means determines that the WCN number is not a registered number, and the registration determination means If the WCN number is determined not to be a registered number, the WCN registration means for registering the WCN number and the registration determination means determine that the WCN number is a registered number or the WCN registration When the WCN number is registered by the means, the entrance gate opening means for opening the entrance gate, and the payment web site accessible via the network A pre-payment means that allows the occupant to carry the ID number by using a portable terminal carried by the passenger and pay the parking fee before entering the vehicle, and an entry that receives the WCN number transmitted from the ETC on-board device when entering the vehicle. WCN receiving means, settled judging means for judging whether or not the preliminary settlement means has settled based on the ID number associated with the WCN number received by the participating WCN receiving means, and the settlement And a participation gate opening means for opening the participation gate when it is determined that the payment has been completed by the completion determination means.

(Effect of the first parking lot management system)
According to the parking lot management system of the first aspect of the present invention, the parking lot can be entered and exited without stopping the vehicle by receiving the ID number transmitted from the in-vehicle transmitter or the portable item. Specifically, in the case of entering the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted transmitter that can transmit the ID number is mounted on the vehicle, or the occupant only has a portable item that can transmit the ID number. The entrance gate is automatically opened. That is, it is possible to pass through the entrance gate without stopping the vehicle. In the case of participating in a vehicle, in addition to providing the above-described on-vehicle transmitter or portable items, the participation gate is automatically opened by paying a parking fee before participating. That is, it is possible to pass through the entry gate without stopping the vehicle. In addition, the payment means is adjusted (prior payment) before entering the vehicle, so that it is not necessary to register in advance as in the ETC system on toll roads.

(Effect of the second parking lot management system)
According to the parking lot management system of the second aspect of the present invention, the user who uses the parking lot for the first time needs to read the portable ID when entering the vehicle because the WCN is not registered. Therefore, when the parking lot is used for the first time, the vehicle is temporarily stopped when the vehicle enters, and when the parking lot is used for the second time or later, the vehicle can be entered without stopping when the vehicle enters. it can. In addition, it is possible to participate without stopping the vehicle if preliminary settlement is performed at the time of participation in the vehicle. The reason why the mobile ID is read at the time of entering the vehicle for the first time is to register the ID number used at the time of advance settlement. That is, the prior settlement in the parking lot management system of the second aspect of the present invention is performed by entering the mobile ID.

  Here, in the parking lot management system of the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to enter without stopping the vehicle when entering the vehicle from the first use of the parking lot. On the other hand, the parking lot management system according to the second aspect of the present invention temporarily stops the vehicle by causing the mobile ID to be read when the vehicle enters for the first time. This is because, at present, the ID number of the in-vehicle transmitter is considered to be the WCN of the ETC in-vehicle device, but the possibility that the occupant stores the WCN of this ETC in-vehicle device is not so high. . Furthermore, at present, there is no portable item that can transmit the ID number. That is, in the parking lot management system according to the first aspect of the present invention, if pre-payment is possible only by the WCN of the ETC on-board device that is currently possible, there will be a parking lot user who cannot make pre-payment, You must stop the vehicle once you enter. That is, only the parking lot management system according to the first aspect of the present invention generates a person who cannot enter a lot of parking lot users without stopping the vehicle.

  Therefore, according to the parking lot management system of the second aspect of the present invention, a portable device that is likely to be stored in advance by a user using an existing ETC on-board device capable of transmitting an ID number. The ID number of the terminal will be used. As a result, when the car park is used for the first time, the vehicle is temporarily stopped at the time of admission, but since it is possible to make a pre-payment with certainty, the first car can be used, and the second and subsequent car When entering and exiting, more users can enter and exit without stopping the vehicle.

(Effect of the third parking lot management system)
According to the parking lot management system of the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to pre-pay with a mobile terminal on a payment website accessible via the network, so that the vehicle is parked after parking in the parking lot facility. Before leaving the parking lot, users of the parking lot can pre-pay anytime and anywhere. The prior settlement of the conventional parking lot management system uses a prior settlement machine installed in the parking lot facility. In other words, conventionally, in order to make a prior payment, it has been necessary to return to the parking lot facility and go to a predetermined installation location. And when many parking lot users lined up in the pre-payment machine arrange | positioned in parking lot facilities, the parking time was often extended. Therefore, by making it possible to pay with a mobile terminal using the check-out website, there is no need to line up with a pre-payment machine and the parking time is not extended. Moreover, since the prior payment can be performed in a vehicle parked in the parking lot facility, the convenience is further improved.

  Next, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments.

(First parking lot management system)
The ID number in the first parking lot management system described above may be a WCN number of an ETC on-vehicle device on which a vehicle is mounted. Many users already have an on-board ETC device. By using such an existing device, the parking lot management system can be used without providing a new device.

  The portable item may be a portable terminal carried by a passenger. The mobile terminal is, for example, a mobile phone. By using the mobile terminal in this way, for example, advance settlement described later can be settled via a network such as the Internet. In addition to pre-settlement, various information can be provided from the parking lot management system to the portable terminal carried by the passenger.

  Further, the pre-payment means may be able to pay the parking fee by the mobile terminal on a payment website accessible via a network. In this way, by using the settlement website, the parking lot user can make a preliminary settlement anytime and anywhere between parking the vehicle in the parking facility and entering the parking lot. The prior settlement of the conventional parking lot management system uses a prior settlement machine installed in the parking lot facility. In other words, conventionally, it was necessary to return to the parking lot facility in order to pay in advance. And when many parking lot users lined up in the pre-payment machine arrange | positioned in parking lot facilities, the parking time was often extended. Therefore, by making it possible to pay with a mobile terminal using the check-out website, there is no need to line up with a pre-payment machine and the parking time is not extended. Moreover, since the prior payment can be performed in a vehicle parked in the parking lot facility, the convenience is further improved.

  The pre-settlement on the settlement website can be performed by, for example, settlement by credit card, settlement by debit card, settlement by prepaid card, settlement by a card that can use electronic money, or the like.

  Further, the mobile terminal may be a mobile terminal having a settlement function capable of settlement by inputting the ID number. By using a mobile terminal having a settlement function, the parking lot user only needs to have a mobile terminal that accesses the settlement website. In other words, the mobile terminal can be used to access the settlement website, and the ID number of the mobile terminal can also be used for settlement. As a portable terminal having such a settlement function, for example, there are a portable terminal equipped with an IC that can use electronic money, and a portable terminal equipped with an IC having a prepaid function. In the first parking lot management system, the mobile terminal must be capable of transmitting an ID number when entering and leaving. Therefore, this portable terminal can transmit an ID number and further has a settlement function.

  The pre-settlement means may include site ID storage means for storing the ID number input from the portable terminal. Thereby, for example, when the parking lot user uses the same parking lot management system for the second time and thereafter, the ID number is stored, so that the prior settlement is performed without inputting the ID number again. Can do. If the ID number of the mobile terminal is stored in the site ID storage means, the pre-payment means can read the ID number without input by the parking lot user by recognizing which mobile terminal has accessed. it can. Moreover, you may enable it to read an ID number, when a parking lot user inputs a password. Thereby, instead of using an ID number that is relatively difficult for a parking lot user to memorize, it is possible to perform a prior settlement more reliably by inputting a password that is relatively easy to memorize.

  The first parking lot management system further includes an entry time inquiry receiving means for receiving an inquiry about an entry time when the ID number is inputted by the portable terminal at a website accessible via a network, and the ID You may make it provide the entrance time transmission means which transmits the entrance time of the vehicle corresponding to a number to the said portable terminal. Conventionally, a parking ticket is always issued, and the entrance time is printed on the parking ticket. However, when the parking ticket is not issued as in the present invention, the entrance time cannot be known. Therefore, by making it possible to inquire about the entry time, the entry time can be known anytime and anywhere while the vehicle is parked in the parking lot. In other words, since the admission time can be known without a parking ticket, the parking lot can be used effectively. In addition, when inquiring about the entrance time, it can be performed by inputting an ID number from a portable terminal.

  The first parking lot management system further includes a parking time inquiry receiving means for receiving an inquiry about a parking time when the ID number is input by the portable terminal on a website accessible via a network, and the ID You may make it provide the parking time calculation means which calculates the parking time of the vehicle corresponding to a number, and the parking time transmission means which transmits the calculated said parking time. Generally, the parking fee is a fee according to time. However, the parking lot user himself / herself must calculate the parking time only from the entrance time printed on the parking ticket as in the prior art. Furthermore, the time of the parking ticket issuing device may be different from the time of a clock or the like owned by the parking lot user. In such a case, the parking lot user cannot know the exact parking time. Therefore, according to the parking lot management system of the present invention, since the parking time is calculated by the system itself, it is possible to know the accurate parking time and to use the parking lot more effectively for the parking lot user. it can. In addition, when inquiring about parking time, it can be performed by inputting an ID number from a portable terminal.

  In addition, the first parking lot management system further receives a parking fee inquiry that receives an inquiry about a parking fee by inputting the ID number or the portable ID number by the portable terminal on a website accessible via a network. Means, a parking fee calculating means for calculating a parking fee of a vehicle corresponding to the ID number or the portable ID number when receiving an inquiry about the parking fee, and transmitting the calculated parking fee to the portable terminal. And a parking fee transmission means. In the conventional parking lot management system, since it is only possible to know the entry time, the parking lot user cannot easily know the parking fee while the vehicle is parked in the parking lot. In particular, the parking fee may vary depending on the parking lot, and may vary depending on the time zone, so the parking fee cannot be easily known. Therefore, according to the parking lot management system of the present invention, since the system itself calculates the parking fee, the parking lot user can know the accurate parking fee anytime and anywhere while using the parking lot.

  Further, the pre-settlement means may include discount settlement means capable of entering a card number of a parking fee discount card and discounting the parking fee. Further, the pre-settlement means may be a pre-settlement machine arranged in a parking lot. The pre-payment can appropriately meet the requirements for parking lot users who are accustomed to conventional facilities by using a pre-payment machine installed in the parking lot. Even in such a case, there is an effect that entry / exit can be performed without stopping the vehicle when entering / leaving.

  Next, an example is given and the present invention is explained more concretely with reference to drawings.

(Configuration of parking management system)
First, the structure including the parking lot management system in a present Example is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an entire environment including a parking lot management system 1. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the parking lot management system 1. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the prior settlement inquiry unit 18.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in an environment including a parking lot management system 1, a parking lot management system 1, a mobile phone operator 2, and a financial operator 3 are connected via an Internet network. The parking lot management system 1 includes at least an entrance gate 12, an exit gate 13, and parking lot facilities. That is, in general, the parking lot management system 1 causes the vehicle to pass through the entrance gate 12, parks the vehicle in the parking lot facility, and passes the entrance gate 13 to enter the vehicle from the parking lot. The mobile phone operator 2 acts as an intermediary for enabling the mobile phone to access the Internet when the parking lot user accesses the Internet using a mobile phone (mobile terminal). The financial operator 3 makes a settlement when paying a parking fee, which will be described later.

  Here, as a premise in the present embodiment, the vehicle using the parking lot management system needs to be equipped with an ETC on-vehicle device. Also, an ID number called WCN (Wireless Call Number) is registered in the ETC on-vehicle device. Normally, when using a toll road using an ETC on-board device, it is necessary to insert a pre-registered ETC card, but this parking lot management system in this embodiment does not require this ETC card. .

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the detailed configuration of the parking lot management system 1 includes a control unit 11, an entrance gate 12, and an exit gate 13. The entrance gate 12 is a gate disposed at a vehicle entrance location to the parking lot. Therefore, when the entrance gate 12 is closed, the vehicle cannot enter the parking lot, and the vehicle can enter the parking lot only when the entrance gate 12 is opened. The entry gate 13 is a gate provided at a place where the vehicle enters from the parking lot to the outside of the parking lot. Therefore, when the entry gate 13 is closed, the vehicle cannot enter the parking lot, and the vehicle can enter the parking lot only when the entry gate 13 is opened.

  The control unit 11 includes an entrance WCN reception unit 21, a registration determination unit 22, a mobile ID / parking ticket ID reading storage unit 23, a WCN registration unit 24, an entrance gate opening unit 25, an entrance time storage unit 26, The pre-payment inquiry unit 27, the participation WCN reception unit 28, the payment completion determination unit 29, and the participation gate opening unit 30 are configured.

  The admission WCN receiving unit (admission ID receiving means, admission WCN receiving means) 21 is installed in the vicinity of the admission gate 12 and receives the WCN transmitted from the ETC onboard equipment mounted on the vehicle when the vehicle enters. Specifically, the entrance WCN receiving unit 21 transmits an ETC command for prompting the transmission of the WCN to the vehicle when the vehicle using the parking lot approaches the entrance gate 12. And the entrance WCN receiving part 21 receives WCN which the ETC onboard equipment of the vehicle which received the ETC command transmits.

  The registration determination unit (registration determination means) 22 determines whether or not the WCN received by the entrance WCN reception unit 21 is a number already registered in the parking lot management system (a registered number). A mobile ID / parking ticket ID reading storage unit (mobile ID reading storage means, parking ticket issuing means) 23 is arranged in front of the entrance gate 12 and holds a mobile phone or issues a parking ticket. Can be selected. When the parking lot user selects the method of holding the mobile phone, the ID number (mobile ID number) of the mobile phone held by the parking lot user is read. Furthermore, when the parking lot user holds the mobile phone, the mobile phone ID / parking ticket ID reading storage unit 23 stores the ID number of the mobile phone in association with the WCN. On the other hand, when the parking lot user selects parking ticket issuance, the mobile phone ID and parking ticket ID reading storage unit 23 issues the parking ticket and then assigns the parking ticket ID number (parking ticket ID) to the WCN. It is associated and remembered.

  The WCN registration unit (ID registration unit, WCN registration unit) 24 registers the WCN received by the entrance WCN reception unit 21. The entrance gate opening part (entrance gate opening means) 25 controls the entrance gate 12 to be opened. The entrance gate opening unit 25 controls the entrance gate 12 to be opened when the WCN is a registered number by the registration determination unit 22 and when the WCN is registered by the WCN registration unit 24.

  The entrance time storage unit 26 stores the time when the entrance gate 25 is controlled to open the entrance gate 12. The admission time storage unit 26 stores admission time in association with the WCN. That is, the time when the parking lot user enters the parking lot is stored for each vehicle. The pre-payment inquiry unit 27 performs pre-payment of the parking fee from when the parking lot user enters the vehicle to when the vehicle enters the vehicle. Furthermore, when inquiries about the admission time, parking time, and parking fee are made, the inquiry is also made. The detailed configuration of the advance settlement inquiry unit 27 will be described later.

  The participation WCN receiving unit (participation ID receiving means, participation WCN receiving means) 28 is installed in the vicinity of the participation gate 13 and receives the WCN transmitted from the ETC on-board unit mounted on the vehicle when the vehicle participates. Specifically, when the vehicle using the parking lot approaches the participation gate 13, the participation WCN receiving unit 28 transmits an ETC command for prompting the transmission of the WCN to the vehicle. Then, the participating WCN receiver 28 receives the WCN transmitted by the ETC on-vehicle device of the vehicle that has received the ETC command.

  The settlement completion determination unit (settlement completion determination means) 29 determines whether or not the advance settlement reference unit 27 has settled based on the mobile ID or parking ticket ID associated with the WCN received by the participating WCN reception unit 28. I do. Specifically, the account completion determination unit 29 reads the WCN received by the participating WCN reception unit 28. Subsequently, the portable ID or parking ticket ID associated with the read WCN is read from the portable ID / parking ticket ID reading storage unit 23. Then, based on the mobile ID or parking ticket ID that has been read, it is determined whether or not the prior settlement inquiry unit 27 has already settled. The participation gate opening part (entrance gate opening means) 30 controls to open the participation gate 13. The participation gate opening unit 30 controls to open the participation gate when it is determined by the payment completion determination unit 29 that payment has been completed.

  A mobile ID input unit (entrance time inquiry receiving means, parking time inquiry receiving means, parking fee inquiry receiving means) 51 inputs and stores a mobile ID input from a mobile phone by a parking lot user. Here, the input of the mobile ID or the like to the mobile ID input unit 51 by the parking lot user is performed on the website of the parking lot management system accessed by the parking lot user via the Internet. That is, the parking lot user accesses the parking lot management system website by connecting to the Internet through the mobile phone operator 2 using a mobile phone. Then, on the input screen for the mobile ID and the like of the accessed parking lot management system website, the parking lot user inputs the mobile ID and the like. Note that the mobile ID or the like is a mobile ID or a parking ticket ID in this embodiment. Moreover, you may include WCN of an ETC onboard equipment as portable ID etc. as needed. The mobile ID input unit 51 is used when the parking lot user makes an advance payment and makes an inquiry about the entry time, parking time, and parking fee. Further, the mobile ID etc. input unit (site ID storage means) 51 stores the mobile ID etc. once inputted. Therefore, when accessing this website after the second time, it is not necessary to input the mobile ID again.

  The WCN, portable ID, and parking ticket ID reading unit 52 reads the WCN associated with the portable ID or the like based on the portable ID or the like input to the portable ID or the like input unit 51. At this time, it is performed with reference to the information stored in the portable ID, parking ticket ID reading storage unit 23 and WCN registration unit 24.
